The labor or working class of a country plays a crucial role in its development and all other aspects of nation building. The class includes those engaged in manual labor occupations or industrial works, who depend on waged or salaried contracts for their livelihoods.

Working  class occupations include blue-collar jobs (manufacturing, constructions, maintenance, driving, trucking, farming and all), and most pink color jobs including nursing, social work, teaching, beauty industry, child care etc. Also, the category can also include almost all of the working population of industrialized economies as well as those employed in the urban areas of non-industrialized economies or in the rural workforce.

Whatever their occupations are, they are the core pillar of the development of a country. So to draw the attention of the people towards the contribution of laborers or workers in the development of a country and to mark their sacrifices, every year International Labour Day is celebrated around the globe. It is also known as International Workers’ Day or May Day. It is celebrated with full fervor and enthusiasm around the globe.

International Labour Day History

The actual origin of the Labour Day is stated back to the time of heavy industrialization in the 19th Century, a time period in which the labor class was exploited to large extent of cruelty and was forced to work for up to 15-16 hours a day.

On May 1, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago, USA, the laborers stood up for their rights and started a peaceful protest against their poor condition, suffering and exploitation. In their strike they were demanding an eight-hour workday.

On May 3, some Policemen assaulted, beat and injured the peaceful protestors, also killed one of them. In result, the very next day, the protest turned violent when an unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at the Haymarket Square, which resulted in death of several Police officers and four civilians and injured many labours, this whole incident is also called as Haymarket affair or Haymarket massacre.

After that, the proposals were made and in the year 1889, May 1 was decided to be observed as the International Workers’ Day or International Labour Day and since then, it has been observed on May 1st in more than 80 countries of the world.

Although the day is pertaining to the uprising made by the USA laborers, various other countries have their own story regarding the origin of Labour Day. However, the motive and idea behind observing the day are the same for all countries around the world, which is honoring and paying tribute to the working class.

In the USA and Canada, Labour Day is observed on the first Monday of the month of September. However, In India, people started observing the day from May 1, 1923 and this event was organized by the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan in Madras, in present day Chennai, the capital of the Indian State of Tamil Nadu.
